    A few sentences have a hyphen ("-") between phrases to clarify the sentence structures. However, against the intention, the Japanese voices read the sign literally as "ハイフン (haifun; hyphen)", "ひく (hiku; subtraction)", or "マイナス (mainasu; minus)", e.g., "サボ-る (saboru)" at #578 is read as "sabo hiku ru". These errors happen only a few times out of 700 and, I think, trivially enough to ignore them.

    Hi there thanks. Gomen,ne, but on #459 the romaji is onoeru, instead of oboeru. Don't mean to criticize, but if you can fix things as you go, your video will just get better! Did you create this yourself, or is it a relist of someone else's post? I just ask because the voice of the lady is the same as some other postings and so are some of the errors.

    • @JoytanApp
      @JoytanApp  6 років тому

      The videos on my channel are created with a software I made that turns any memrise course or CSV files into an audio/textbook and a video. The program uses some third party computer voices which you might happen to know like in Kendra's language school channel.
      As you can see in the accompanying memrise course, it only has hiragana and its meaning in English. But I know how it can be written in kanji & romaji, so I used another my automation tools for kana-kanji and kana-romaji conversion. As you know, a word written in hiragana can be written in kanji in multiple ways. And this sometimes causes us to show wrong kanji for a given English meaning, although I more or less check the result before making a video with it. Speaking of the wrong romaji conversion, which converts ぼ to "no" instead of "bo", I fixed the error and it should no longer appears in my recent videos.
      I'm getting used to making videos and I hope errors are decreasing in my recent videos. Thank you for the report!

    I'm extremely new to Japanese, and this is a very dumb question but im asking it anyways lol
    Whats the point of hiragana versions of kanji? Like would it be weird if I wrote the hiragana version of a word instead of the kanji for it?

    • @JoytanApp
      @JoytanApp  3 роки тому

      No dumb questions! Hiragana represents sound whereas Kanji represents meaning. Using kanji in a sentence helps readers understand its meaning faster. As you may guess, you cannot use kanji in spoken conversation, and all you pronounce are basically hiragana letters. That means we are able to communicate only with Hiragana. But as for writing, if everything is written in Hiragana, it’s simply hard to read because Japanese is not a spaced-language like English. Like a whitespace gives a structure (words) in English, Kanji compresses and converts a chunk of Hiragana into a meaning entity. Conversion from hiragana to kanji is mostly an easy 1-to-1 mapping. But keep in mind that there are quite a few exceptions, too, known as 同音異義語 (same-sound-different-meaning words), e.g., あつい→熱い (hot), 厚い (thick) etc / かがく→科学 (science) or 化学 (chemistry). In such case, the conversion depends on the context of the sentence, but still Japanese are trained to do this effortlessly (you will be!). Maybe it’s safe to say, Japanese adults would read all-Hiragana sentences as easy as English speakers read non-spaced English ones. Nowyougethowweirdall-Hiraganasentencesare. But no worry, many kids before mid-school write in this way :D
      Back to your question. The point of Hiragana shown under Kanji is to make it easier for new learners to connect Kanji (what you see atop and should learn) and the sounds (what you hear). Experienced learners won’t need the help of Hiragana (and let alone Roma-ji) since they are trained enough to match the reading sound with Hiragana letters by themselves. Roma-ji under Hiragana are more helpful for beginners who do not master Hiragana yet.

      I can sorta explain this ( learning rn) the kanji 人 can be read in 2 ways, ひと hito and じんJin. Jin is used when you are talking about someone’s nationality. For example: 日本人 nihonjin, meaning person of Japanese nationality. And hito is used for all other cases. Take this with a gain of salt because I’m still learning.

      Sorry for the confusion. You're right. This earlier version has several errors as discussed in other comments. My newer system prevents these errors almost perfectly, so please watch newer video. Also, I will upload another vocab video for genki again with better graphics soon. Thank you.

      ​ @SLOBeachboy - I understand the difficulty, too. Although Japanese is my first language, I was perplexed to tell if these were artificial ones until they made some simple kanji misreading. Computer voice is still growing with the recent progress of AI stuff. I guess more authentic voices will be available e.g, Tacotron-2 by Google.

    Why does it translte “ano” to over there. I thought it meant “um”

    • @EsmeSalzman
      @EsmeSalzman 3 роки тому

      "anou" is um :) the emphasis is on the "nou", so it's lengthened, whereas "ano", or "that __ over there", has even emphasis on both syllables.

    The Japanese audio uses a different reading than is displayed sometimes, like on 人 and 歳. Very misleading for listening in the background.

    For #39, you pronounce 人 as hito, but hiragana is jin, both match the kanji, but for the context should it not be jin? for example インド人 , フランス人 etc

    • @JoytanApp
      @JoytanApp  6 років тому

      Yes, you're right. Computer only pronounces words in the most probable way. If a context is not given or too short, it sometimes reads in the way against our will.

    For 47 you say especially a university student, but should that not be 大学生?

    • @JoytanApp
      @JoytanApp  6 років тому

      大学生 literally means a university student.
      学生 literally covers all kinds of students but it is often used as a social class to describe students, who are able to have a job but choose to stay in school. The definition excludes students under 18; students before the senior year of high school. So, when university students are asked what they do, they say "I'm still a (大)学生."

    No joke, 5 ads in 15 minutes. One of them was a medical ad that was at least 5-10 minutes long. Thought I could put this on and walk away from my phone, but I was wrong.
